    We recently visited Nevedya Restaurant to celebrate my wedding anniversary with friends, and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was truly exceptional—organic and soul-nourishing, every bite reflected quality and care. The ambience was simply mesmerizing, nestled in the lap of nature, offering serenity and beauty all around. It was a perfect setting for a special occasion, and every moment felt totally worth it. Highly recommended! Thanks Shakti and Daniel. 🙏

    We had different dishes and they were delicious. We had the Indian curry and dosa, falafel and humus platter, chilli masala dosa thali, cashew cheesecake and more! I also tried the turmeric, honey and ginger shot. It was good to eat knowing that the produce was organic, and that means the food is full of flavour, as it is meant to be.

    The ambience in the courtyard was peaceful and harmonious. The food is multidimensional, feeding much more than just the physical being. We shared different tapas meals and desserts and felt spiritually and emotionally deeply nourished by it all.

    The food was so delicious and well presented. Nice ambience. Appreciate that dogs are allowed and they can eat with us too, loved it. The outdoor setting was great with lots of plants and lamps. Would like to give a pat to the cooks. Well done Nevedya team.
